I've just tried your suggestion, and on compilation, it reports <br />
that it's an invalid cast. Any ideas?<br />
Thanks...<br />

seems to work fine! I guess there must be a difference between<br />
my version and yours. Using the char array is no problem for<br />
my app, though. Thanks for your help...<br />

Hi,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;I'm trying to pass a filename to WinExec. The problem is<br />
that I have to build the name using info from the user.<br />
I have done this:<br />
var <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;AppName : String;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;FileName: String;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;ExecuteLin : String;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;ExecuteLine : PChar;<br />
begin<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;AppName := 'Latex ';<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;FileName := Edit1.Text;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;ExecuteLin := AppName + FileName;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;StrPCopy(ExecuteLine, ExecuteLin);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;WinExec(ExecuteLine, SW_SHOWMAXIMISED);<br />
end;<br />
<br />
When I try to run it I get a General Protection Fault, with<br />
the StrPCopy line highlighted. Anyone know what seems to be <br />
the problem?<br />
Thanks...<br />

Easy Question...

Delphi is the most powerful Object Pascal IDE and component library for cross-platform Native App Development with flexible Cloud services and broad IoT connectivity. It provides powerful VCL controls for Windows 10 and enables FMX development for Windows, Mac and Mobile. Delphi is your choice for ultrafast Enterprise Strong Development™. Look for increased memory for large projects, extended multi-monitor support, improved Object Inspector and much more. Delphi is 5x faster for development and deployment across multiple desktop, mobile, cloud and database platforms including 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10.
